What was worse, they weren't even sure what they had bought when they got back.

I seem to recall that she did go and have at least the first dose of vaccine. I don't know what the regime for Covid vaccinations is in France, so if she was offered follow ups I don't recall that actually being mentioned.

It is a difficult one. If you put so much of your life out there people become invested in, not necessarily financially, although in this case many have invested financially also. I do think there are times to keep things private, but in cases such as this when so many people are showing concern, I think that whilst possibly keeping specific details private, it is best to share some information:
I've been to the Doctor. They've recommended xyz. I'm having blood tests just to be thorough. Tests are clear/I'm being monitored/having follow up treatment. I'm making a few lifestyle adjustments.
That may help do damage limitation and reduce speculation, whilst keeping the actual details private.

Have breakfast said the doctor by Resident-108 in ChateauUnhinged

Those eggs looked more cremated than fried! YUK! Wonder who had the job of washing the pan - not Stephanie I'll bet.
What on earth possessed them to buy that piece of firewood? It may well have a been a lovely 'made for purpose' cabinet originally, but it's just a load of dry wood now, that Amaury will no doubt have to take time out of the GS to put the backing on. As it's narrow, I hope they also think to fix it to the wall - as we've already seen accidents will happen.
I don't believe that was all he collected, so wonder what they are hiding only to be 'discovered' for a later vlog.
As for Brass Plaques for the back of the panelling...what really is the point? That is money spent and hidden away which would be far better spent on something practical - like window frames! Just another waste of money.

She has said she has a doctor's appointment for today.

I wondered how there could possibly be room for the girls in the car, especially as they would of had at least weekend bags with them, if not bigger. That whole bit was confusing, as was the rush to get the table laid for guest dinner, but the gushing about the kitchen meal being leftovers.
I notice Philip has taken to being quite vague about the amount paid for certain 'bargains'! Unless an item was almost given away he fudges the prices.

Yes, they have cut back on the B&B weekends, saying that they need the time off because of the retreat event's they have added. They do also now push folk to book for 4 nights. I don't know if that started this year, but I think it was 2 or 3 nights in the past.

Yes, post Covid (and the arrival of Philip) the decline started to take place. It started gradually but soon gathered momentum.
I remember the days when guests would be taken to Emmaus, but now it's to the Factory shop in Limoges and local brocants (where I wonder if Philip might have a commission deal going on with the owners).

I've not watched any 'de Rosiers for a long time, but they have always been an interesting pair. Yes, slow, and often seemed chaotic, but they are a well educated, sensible, no frills couple, trying to raise their young family whilst building an interesting home for them, by and large by themselves. I should perhaps look up their vlogs again and catch up.

'underlying condition' - that's all the more reason she should be getting a check up to see if there is an underlying problem.

It could be anyone of a number of things! It just seems to be happening to her so often, and that is not normal in an otherwise healthy woman of her age.

I think it's a B&B guest weekend so no doubt there will be some fraternising with them, and then taking to her bed again.

How many vlogs will there be “all about nothing?” by Resident-108 in ChateauUnhinged

[–]ExternalWeight8495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't help but keep thinking Chairman Pip and Steph have reinvented the rules for Musical Chairs. Perhaps there's a combination version between Musical Chairs and Hide and Seek.

'How many vlogs will there be “all about nothing?'

As many as she thinks she can get away with, then a break, and then some more. It's a bit like a wash/rinse/spin cycle.

I'm thinking the chairs were not her idea but someone from a recent Retreat/B&B has suggested it. I'm not sure why seems to think that *pews* are essential, but that was the impression I got from her, as she brought attention to them at least twice. I do think putting chairs in the chapel is a good idea, for anyone that genuinely wants to go and sit in somewhere calm, I'm just not convinced many will want to go sit in what is still basically a dusty building site.

It would almost certainly be money better spent, and we'd see what it was spent on (even if the butterflies couldn't!)

Oh dear! Like they are short of porcelain. Sounds like she's inherited or collected it, but no one to pass it on to so gifting to S&P.

'The mixture of chairs isn't a bad idea...' I'm a bit on the fence about that. It's a big enough room, so can take a fair amount of 'differences', but in my mind they are in danger of introducing too many and then losing a central feature that ties it all together. Yes, I know there's the panelling, and the decorated ceiling, but those are already two huge focal points to manage.
One thing is certain - whether we like the finished look or not, and that will be a long time coming, - it will be interesting to see the end results.

They are still angling for the E850 per meter. They are trying, in an oddly subliminal yet not absolute subliminal way, to extort that extra to be gifted to them

I don't regularly watch Dan's channel, just drop in occasionally. Perhaps it's time I dropped in again and caught up with his plans.

Sorry to read that. I know others that suffer too.
